Although the Vehicle Code describes a pedestrian’s duty to cross at a cross walk, accidents that occur outside the crosswalk are not necessarily the pedestrian’s fault. You have rights even if you are not in a crosswalk. Even though pedestrians are required to push the walk signal when provided, the motorist also has a duty to yield to the pedestrians. Insurance companies often blame the pedestrian for inattentiveness however pedestrians have the right of way in most cases.
